149th Street–Grand Concourse on the IRT White Plains Road Line has two tracks and two side platforms, with a high rounded ceiling similar to 168th Street on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line. It is located on the lower level of this 2 level complex. There are elevators (now closed) and a pedestrian bridge between the two platforms (also closed) on this level at the southern end of the platforms.

Opened as Mott Avenue on July 10, 1905, 149th Street–Grand Concourse was the first subway station to be opened in the Bronx. Today, nearly all of the original mosaic "Mott Avenue" name tablets have all been covered over with metal "149 St–Grand Concourse" signs. Only one name tablet, located on the downtown platform between the last two staircases at the northern end, remains uncovered and survived intact until a few years into the 21st century when a serious water leak after very heavy rainfall caused individual tiles to separate from the wall and fall off. There are no known plans by the MTA to repair or restore this name tablet.

South of the station, there are track connections to the IRT Jerome Avenue Line. The Jerome Line station lies above and perpendicular to the White Plains Road Line station.
